The mechanisms of agonist-induced Ca 2 1 spikes have been investigated using a caged inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP 3 ) and a low-affinity Ca 2 1 indicator, BTC, in pancreatic acinar cells. Rapid photolysis of caged IP 3 was able to reproduce acetylcholine (ACh)induced three forms of Ca 2 1 spikes: local Ca 2 1 spikes and submicromolar ( , 1 m M) and micromolar (1–15 m M) global Ca 2 1 spikes...

Cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) is a biomarker for breast cancer used to monitor response treatments and disease recurrence. The present work demonstrates the preparation application of fluorescent biosensor ultrasensitive detection CA protein tumor marker using mercaptopropionic-acid-functionalized cadmium telluride (CdTe@MPA) quantum dots (QDs) conjugated with antibodies. First, QDs were synthe...
